Sports Has A New Power Couple: The Phillie Phanatic And Kacie The Traffic Lady

Say what you will about the Phillie Phanatic, but he’s got fantastic taste in women.

Here’s a clip (thanks to Sports Crackle Pop, by way of Philly Barstool) of the greatest and most important of all sports mascots crashing a traffic forecast to briefly discuss the 2013 Philadelphia Phillies season before noticing that Kacie McDonnell is amazing and going in for a kiss. The result? Kacie McDonnell has a boyfriend now, and he is a blood red Galapagos bird.

I’ve never met the red version of the Phanatic, but I HAVE been kissed on the face his green equivalent, for telling him I had the The Phillie Phanatic Goes Hollywood DVD. Maybe I shouldn’t meet the red one. I feel like he should be enraged and hyper-violent or something.

Fun fact! Kacie McDonnell is Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder’s former girlfriend. Now that he’s married to Samantha (Steele) Ponder, I’d say it’s fair to look back on his track record and say he’s done OK for himself. Football is another story, however.
